Ad-supported apps better monetization model than paid: developer
By Dan Butcher
April 22, 2011
Advertising support is a better way to monetize applications compared to the paid model, according to a software developer that has created apps for several mobile operating systems.
As a part-time developer, Richard Foster wanted to find an easy, yet lucrative way to implement ads into his Windows Phone 7 Silverlight applications.Mr. Foster was once a DOS programmer, and he currently works for the family dry cleaning business and develops mobile applications part-time for his company Edgeway Software.
�Ease of development was really the spark that allowed me to develop so rapidly,� Mr. Foster said. �I have used SDKs from Millennial and AdMob for Android and from a novice perspective, the Windows Phone 7 Ad SDK is far easier�really top notch.�
Paid vs. ad-supported model
Since the introduction of his first Windows Phone 7 app, Unit Converter, in November, Mr. Foster has now developed more than 14 apps with the Microsoft Advertising SDK for Windows Phone 7 for mobile.
Mr. Foster had developed paid apps for the Windows Mobile 6x platform, but since there are a huge number of free apps in the new marketplace for Windows Phone 7, he made the switch to ad-supported apps. His free, ad-supported apps include 3 Card Monte, Balloon Shooter, Rocket 21, Silly Soundboard and Tile Rush.
For Mr. Foster, the free/ad-supported model proved to be the most lucrative, according to Microsoft, which claims that Mr. Foster has made $28,882 in four months with his suite of apps.
�The big advantage of ad-supported apps is they are free to users, allowing a developer to maximize user reach and the potential revenue stream,� said Jonathan Tom, group product marketing manager at Microsoft, Redmond, WA. �This often translates into more downloads and greater app adoption among consumers.
�With ad-funded apps, there is a lower barrier to entry, as users are more apt to download and try a free, ad-funded app instead of a paid app,� he said. �We are seeing a lot of success with ad monetization with Windows Phone Marketplace.
�Once Richard Foster made the switch and implemented the new Silverlight Ad SDK, his revenue went through the roof.�
Microsoft launched its Marketplace platform a year ago, which it claims has generated 10,000 apps faster than anyone else, including Apple�s App Store and Google�s Android Market.
There are currently more than 11,500 apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace.�
Mr. Tom said that there are now 1,100 apps that are generating developer revenue using the Microsoft Advertising Ad SDK.
�Even more impressive is the double-digit growth rate of new ad-funded apps that are being added to the Windows Phone Marketplace every month,� Mr. Tom said.

Space Dilation in Polynomial-Time Perceptron Algorithms AbstractThis talk surveys applications of space dilation in the perceptron-like algorithms for solving systems of linear inequalities in polynomial time: from the ellipsoid algorithm to the modfied perceptron algorithm and the perceptron rescaling algorithm. It also suggests a more general version of the latter algorithm and poses an open problem about the lowest complexity of this approach.

Got a 4gb/256gb 13" today from amazon. Samsung panel, Samsung SSD. no dead pixels. Im happy.

Nov 10, 2012, 06:50 AM | #677 |
Just received my 13" Macbook Air and checked for the display.
Followed the instructions on the first page and got the following display type: LSN133BT01A02 Not sure, which display it is. A few pages back, someone mentioned it is a samsung panel, yet colors seem quite a bit washed out (at least when comparing it to my 3rd gen ipad). Especially red tones are not nearly as vibrant. Tried a few calibration profiles, yet, none of these seem to fit this display type. Does anyone have an idea whether it is yet another vendor or am i doing something wrong with the terminal command? Can anyone with the same screen recommend a decent color profile? |

I just thought there might be someone with the same panel who calibratet it properly in order to get a bit more contrast etc. Last edited by bastisk8; Nov 10, 2012 at 08:47 AM. |

This was a popular one That profile above, on my 11", increased contrast a bit. The Mountain Lion color profile is much better out of the box on the MacBook Airs these days so there wasn't a huge difference, that and it was originally intended for the LG panels. |

I posted in the 'Just got my MacBook Air' thread.. Can anyone here offer any guidance?
Jut got my i7, 8gb, 256gb, 13". I'm in Australia, purchased via eBay / USA and saved $200 bucks. It's an LG display and instantly I noticed colours are washed out. I called Apple and they have arranged a genius appointment for Wednesday, they seemed to know what I was talking about in comparison to the Samsung display and told me just to 'calibrate it myself' at first. I explained I'm a designer / photographer and need accurate colour, having spent $2000 I didn't feel that was a fair solution. I am finally upgrading from a 17" core duo MacBook Pro that went through 3 batteries, welted my legs after 5 minutes of use, sucked colour off my couch (this was all reported over the years but wouldn't do anything except advise I 'use it on a table' 'don't use it on your lap').. It cost over $4000! Anyway I explained this purchase needs to be right from the get-go after spending such a large amount of money. He told me I would have to send it back the USA as it's the stores responsibility, I said I wasn't in a position to pay for postage costs, so he's booked a genius appointment, it will be up to my local store as to an outcome, they may swap the display for a Samsung, they may not. Is this correct information? What are my rights? I quizzed another Apple rep later today after the trackpad had become unresponsive to clicks (finder crash / resolved) as to rights / display issue / 14 day return period and she said she was software and couldnt give me an answer, a decision will need to be made by the Genius Bar / store and if I'm not happy to take it up with the manager..? I haven't contacted the eBay seller as yet, just wanting to find out where I can legally go from here (locally). I know there are bigger problems in the world, it's just a case of getting what you pay $2000 for.. Should I just calibrate and put up with it? The macrumors profile seems out a bit? Colours are vibrant but greys and blacks close together in photos seems to pool and bleed out a little, black text doesn't look right.. Grrr.. Last edited by fullauto; Nov 12, 2012 at 08:21 AM. |

I believe the LG/Samsung issue is mostly resolved on the Air since Mountain Lion and the new default profiles. Don't forget it's an Air, Apple's "budget" laptop (sort of), which will never be perfect in that aspect.
I'd say keep it or go Pro. |

Hi everyone.
So my Macbook Air 13.3 apparently has a ShengRui display. Code is LP133WP1-TJA7 which Google brings up ShenRui It has a yellow tint to it. Anyone know of this company? They seem to make replacement parts. I had Amazon ship me a replacement and it was even more yellow. I had brought it to the Apple Store and they said it looked fine was "within specs" but would send it in for repair if I want. I think I'm going to do that now and hope for a Samsung replacement. Thoughts? |

Man I reallyyyyyy hope I get a Samsung display tomorrow.

Nov 28, 2012, 06:55 AM | #688 | |
I just received a ShenRui too. Totally washed out in its colors and no smooth transitions of the simplest gradients. Called for a return immediately. I will get a new one send. Hopefully the new one is better. Maybe I will eventually have to go up in 256 GB SSD to get quality parts. Seems like they are getting better parts. |

You bought a laptop from a company other than Apple. That laptop came as described (you weren't promised any particular display beforehand I assume?). The screen isn't faulty. Apple don't owe you anything. If you really were a "professional" working with photos, you'd have your own calibration tool. |

So this is the quality of my LP133WP1-TJA7 Shengruihk display - not LG, not Samsung, but Shengruihk - in my 13 inch 128 SSD (Toshiba), 8 GB ram CTO MacBook Air. Horrible. Colors all washed out, gradients split up into sections with unstable colors instead of being smooth in screentest, shadows are not shadows, viewings angles VERY limited and so on... I tell you, this went back to were it came from. I won't accept this. I do not know the manufacturer or if it corresponds to Samsung or LG, but even my 2006 first macbook edition backup notebook beats this by far. Do we see a big company maximizing profits, treating customers differently, trying to take its chances or trying to meet demand? I don't know... But why use this 30 dollar panel in my 1670 dollar machine (that is the corresponding price for it in my country). |

On the left my 3 year old 15" Macbook Pro, on the right the brand new 13.3" Macbook Air with the ShengRui monitor.
Overall it's very good except for the yellow/brown tint which is really bad, but I could see how someone could not even think about it. When you compare it to another monitor (paricularly noticed it using mirroring to my AppleTV on my LG 47" LCD TV.) White is white, this is kind of brown ish. Eggshell. Really messes up the colors in movies. Grey jackets look brown. |

I currently own about 20 Macs, and have owned dozens of others over the years. Never need repair. They last for a long time. Apple makes hardware, their software is ancillary, just a way to get you to buy and fall in love with the hardware. Brown monitors, or monitors with other obvious visual problems should not be learned to live with. |

I don't my other comment is extreme at all. At this point, every non-retina display Apple makes is "less than state of the art," since there's a better option available. Doesn't mean it's not "decent," or good enough for most users. If it's not good enough for you, simply upgrade. If you're a professional, you can write the cost off as a tax deductible business expense.

It does not need to be state of the art to be of an acceptable standard. I can't believe you're telling me that because I have a bad monitor I should upgrade. That's BS. Junky Dell's have better monitors than this. This is a flaw, it is not acceptable and if their "low end" machines were crap no one would buy them.
I don't want a MacBook pro. The Air is lighter and a much slicker machine. Ridiculous. I agree with you that their software is fantastic. All I said was they make their money from hardware. They are a hardware company from a revenue point of view, unlike Microsoft that is a software company. They practically give away the best software and user experiences in exchange for you buying their product - their hardware. ---------- Quote:

I love this thinking. It assumes first of all that you make enough money to use the deduction - and second of all if I spend $1,000 and get a $250 tax savings I still spent $750. The government does not pay for it, they just chipped in. In my case my company loses money every year and has so much carryover loss that expenses have no tax deduction value.

Finally received another one without a display which cannot show shadows and is yellow/washed out. This second Air is with a Samsung panel and WOW there is difference - a lot. I could tell this was a display from another manufacturer before i even checked it. I would have kept it no matter the brand, because the important thing is to get an MBA with this kind of quality in the screen. But I checked it to provide information to this thread. I can only recommend not to settle with a display that looks wrong to you. It will never be perfect, as it is a TN panel and not IPS, but this was like getting two different kind of notebooks; one very cheap and the other one very expensive in the way it feels to use.
My girlfriend also bought an MBA 13" today in a physical store and luckily she got one with a Samsung display also. |

Enjoy your time here, and keep it loud!Nashville's Shotgun Lover recently got a pretty amazing endorsement: Paste Magazine's Steve LaBate loves the band so much he's decided to manage them! We've got a killer track from the band, some biographical details, and upcoming tour dates for you live aficionados.

The Bio:
Music is for the people, Shotgun Lover is for the people. If art is a take on one's perception or reaction to existence, than that is what Shotgun Lover shoots for. The band steams straight ahead for the listener with it's take on youth in America and Rock and Roll . But the listener can only go as far as the writer is willing to stick to his guns. This is what Shotgun Lover has tried to be about since day one. Genuine American Rock and Roll meant to be enjoyed, listened to, danced to, drank to, and felt.
After playing together for a year and a half in another local band, all of the members decided it was time for something else in the Spring of 2009. With countless gigs, practices, and stories behind them the guys hit the garage and started pounding out the tunes that now define who they are and the music they make. With influences that range from Led Zeppelin to Black Sabbath to Wilco and My Morning Jacket, Andrew Nelson (Vocals, Guitars), Blount Floyd (BGV, Guitars), Nathan Roland (Bass), and Chris Johnston (Percussion) are set to release their first EP "Au Revoir" on April 27, 2010.

Re: Megalong Valleyi ended up doing this ride
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/75117233 nice area to ride in, quite roads, courteous drivers. Climb is not so bad, not overly steep (max about 13%) but does sit on 8-10% for most of it. Bit chilly up there, had long sleeve jersey and vest on and was just right

They told me life is but a dream, but all I dream are tragic scenes, to be alive,

When the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) surveyed its postdoctoral fellows in 2003, more than 1,300 of them answered questions ranging from marital and family status to their views on the value of a good salary, flexible hours, and other workplace issues. One result was particularly worrying. While women and men both felt equally well trained for a career in academic science, women were less confident about their chances to land a position, much less achieve tenure.
Elisabeth Martinez, who was a postdoc at the time and helped design the above survey, expected preparedness and career outlook to be in alignment. With her task force colleagues, Martinez, now an instructor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, predicted that women might feel less ready—but they didn't. "By and large women felt equally well prepared, and yet there was still a bit of a confidence issue," she said.
This finding bodes poorly for efforts to close the gender gap in representation at higher levels of the academic ladder. And yet, those involved in such efforts—in academia, government, and industry—continue to move forward, casting a wider net for hiring, pushing family-friendly initiatives, and increasing the emphasis on mentoring.
"It is reasonable to assume that those women who have assessed the situation carefully recognize that they're going to have more problems than men," says Phoebe Leboy, the president-elect of the Association of Women in Science (AWIS). "So you can call it lack of confidence or you can call it an accurate perception of the situation."
One reason women might have grounds for less confidence in their careers than men has to do with the pressures of raising a family, says Leboy. But even putting family issues aside, she says, "Women are going to have a harder time than men succeeding" at every stage of the tenure-track academic career.
Leboy points to data made available by the NIH that showed women lagging behind men in terms of grants per investigator, dollars per grant, success in getting grants renewed, and responsibility for big budget center grants. And because success is so closely tied to funding, particularly in academic health centers, says Leboy, all of these things mean that women are having a harder time achieving tenure than men.
Add all this to what Leboy calls "the escalating rat race in academia" and it paints a bleak picture.
Looking Past the Numbers
It's no longer a pipeline issue, says Nancy Nielsen, president-elect of the American Medical Association. She cites the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) report from last year which showed that although women have earned more than half of the Bachelor's degrees awarded in science and engineering since the year 2000, their representation on university faculties remains woefully low. Indeed, for those with Ph.D.s in engineering and science, four times more men than women hold full-time faculty positions. And minority women with doctorates are less likely than white women, or men of any racial or ethnic group, to be in tenure positions.
It's a problem of numbers, but as is so often the case, numbers do not tell the whole story. A survey of faculty at Princeton five years ago looked at promotion, compensation, and retention by gender. "The major finding was that we have made progress in attracting and retaining women faculty," said Joan Girgus, a psychology professor who serves as a special assistant to the dean of faculty, a post that was created as a direct recommendation of the survey's task force. "But, we still found that women were underrepresented."
When the Princeton survey team looked beyond the quantitative data, one thing they found was that women were less likely to request extensions of tenure for childbirth than were men. "Now this is really odd, right?" Girgus said. "When we asked people to comment, they said things like: we don't know if it's okay to ask for it, we're afraid we'll be seen as less serious, we're afraid we'll be penalized in the tenure consideration."
Princeton's response? Make the extension of the tenure clock automatic. When a tenure-track faculty member, male or female, brings a new child home, the dean of faculty sends a letter with a new tenure date and a book for the baby, said Girgus.
In addition to the postdoc study run by Martinez, the NIH conducted an extensive survey of its tenure-track and tenured scientists (as well as other staffers) to examine gender issues. In general, "women do not perceive the NIH as a female-friendly environment," said Joan Schwartz, an Assistant Director in the Office of Intramural Research. "But to tell you the truth we don't know how exactly to define that because we didn't ask them what they meant by it."
Schwartz is presently conducting followup focus groups on the same populations to try to get at specifics. "We need to understand what the issues are so we can work on coming up with solutions," she said. "That's the ultimate goal—to develop practical solutions."
Beyond Education and Training
Obviously, progress has been made. One success story found in the NAS report is the number of women getting Ph.D.s in science and engineering. In biomedical science, some 45 percent of postdoctoral fellows are women. As the problem—women leaving science or their careers stalling—moves to a later juncture on the career path, the solutions must be tailored to a different set of circumstances.
Put a different way, the problem of equal representation of women has moved from the education and training realm to the employment realm. Academic science might look no further than corporate America to find expertise in the practices of hiring, career development, and family-friendly policies.
"Attention to career development and advancement is more part of the culture of industry than it is in academia," says Gail Cassell, who is vice president of scientific affairs at Eli Lilly and Company and was previously a department chair in microbiology at University of Alabama Schools of Medicine and Dentistry at Birmingham. "Lilly certainly invests a lot of time and resources in nurturing the careers of females in both technical and management positions."
Employees at Eli Lilly undergo evaluations twice a year and, in addition to being evaluated by their bosses, those in supervisory positions receive performance reviews from peers and the people they manage. With multiple inputs going into an employee's review, the process is more objective than the opinion of a single person, like one's boss. This continual feedback "improves the individual, improves the system, and builds a better relationship between employee and employer," says Cassell.
From an employer's perspective, evaluations help identify talent and hold onto it. "So you don't turn around and they're being courted by one of your competitors. Succession planning is a very important part of human resources here. I'm not so sure that's the case at universities, particularly with administrative positions."
Kourtney Davis, senior director of worldwide epidemiology at GlaxoSmithKline, can speak to her company's helping her meet her objectives. Earlier this year, she co-chaired a women in science program that pulled together women across the whole R&D organization to offer networking and mentoring. Davis says it was a great chance to promote opportunities for women. "It was also on my development plan, because I want to work on leadership outside of my department." She credits the company's human resources team for trying to find opportunities for women scientists to increase their leadership skills.
With regard to family-friendly policies, both GlaxoSmithKline and Eli Lilly were recognized by Working Mother magazine as two of the top 100 companies in America, based on measures of work force, compensation, child care, leave policies, and the like.
Davis jokes that she's a poster child for the company's family-friendly programs. With each of her two children, Davis took advantage of extended leave—time beyond paid maternity leave—and then came back at reduced hours for another three to six months. "I also telecommute one day a week," she says. "My supervisor has been incredibly supportive."
The biotech firm Genencor has gone so far as to provide a lactation room and the services of a lactation consultant, says Lisa Zanetto, director of human resources for R&D. Employees at the company also take advantage of flextime schedules, backup day care, and using sick days to take care of sick children.
Zanetto notes that men use family-friendly policies too, like the single dad who works a reduced-hour schedule. The philosophy behind these programs is based on the belief that employees are the company's greatest asset. "We put programs into place, not just to have a program, but so it will actually benefit employees," she says. "We do these things because we believe it's right."
Eli Lilly's commitment to diversity has led the company to create a new position, a vice president of diversity. The company also helped fund the NAS report on academic science and has encouraged the academy to do a followup study on women scientists and engineers in industry.
"With our scientific talent pool being what it is today around the globe, you want that diversity to ensure success," Cassell says. "You have to have it."
Changing Culture
Industry differs from academia in how achievement is measured. "In industry, as in much of corporate America, rewards are considered for the team, for how the team does," says Nielsen, which affects not only how science is done, but how scientists are judged.
By contrast, the emphasis in academia is on individual achievement. That works against women, says Nielsen, who adds that for all the talk about partners sharing home and family duties, "the reality is women still do the brunt of that."
Nielsen, who is senior associate dean for medical education at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, illustrates the contrast with a change she's witnessed in clinical medicine. Thirty years ago obstetrics and gynecology was dominated by men, but now the majority of residents in any OB/GYN program are women, she says. "I think it was because the life of an OB/GYN being on call all the time was very difficult. In the old days solo practice was the model." Now group practice is more common and allows doctors in a large group to have a very reasonable call schedule. "They can have a life," says Nielsen. "And those are issues for my medical students, male and female. They want a reasonable life balance."
Several universities have launched initiatives to change the culture of academic science and to increase the representation of women on the faculty at the highest ranks. The National Science Foundation has been funding many of these efforts through its ADVANCE program. One of the first awardees was the University of Wisconsin at Madison. "The unique thing about these awards is they're really working on the institution level," says Jennifer Sheridan, who directs UW-Madison's Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute. "This kind of money has never been put at the top, at a system level before. It's always been a 'fix-the-women' approach."
One of UW-Madison's approaches is to educate faculty—those who serve on hiring and tenure committees—about research-based evidence on unconscious bias. Studies have shown that identical resumes are perceived differently depending on the gender of the name at the top. "We use the research as a way in," says Sheridan, to persuade science faculty that if they're not paying attention, these biases can emerge. "It takes the blame off men," she says, "because women do it, too."
The hiring workshops have been effective at Wisconsin, says Sheridan, who has measured a positive correlation between departmental participation in hiring workshops and more women hired. In addition, responses on climate surveys showed that new hires were more satisfied with the hiring process. "The workshops talk a lot about the interview process and treating candidates respectfully," she says.
Another NSF grantee is Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, which has created a program called RAMP-UP (Reforming Advancement Processes through University Professions). Rensselaer President Shirley Ann Jackson said the program is focused on two things: "We are working to improve career progression for women from the junior faculty ranks to the senior ranks, and to expand recruitment of accomplished women at the senior level."
Startup packages and access to resources will be looked at more carefully. In addition, the institute is expanding its mentoring and coaching services to better guide women faculty through the advancement process.
"It starts at the departmental level, because that is where hiring starts and where the promotion and tenure process occurs," Jackson said. In addition, the "tone at the top" is important, she says. "It is essential to set clear expectations. I am very focused on the need to ensure that the processes affecting the progression of women faculty—and of all people in their careers here at Rensselaer—are fair and consistent."
To fill looming gaps in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) work force, Jackson says the United States must engage more women and minorities. "Demographics are changing. Women and minorities now constitute one-half to two-thirds of the population, yet they have traditionally been underrepresented in the STEM fields. If we are to sustain our capacity for innovation, it must be an all-in proposition. You cannot presume to have tapped the best talent if you do not tap the complete talent pool."

Pittsburgh Firefighters Battle Church Fire in Frigid Temperatures
On Sunday, Jan. 25 at 6:59 p.m., the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire was dispatched to a church on fire in the Kirkbride section of the city.
Dispatched on the first alarm were Engines 37, 35, 38, Truck 34, Battalion Chief 1, Battalion Chief 4 (Safety Chief), Engine 4 (Go team), and MAC 2 (Air unit). Battalion Chief 1 assumed command and reported heavy fire showing from a large church complex with attached exposure buildings involved.
A second alarm was requested bringing Engines 30, 32, Truck 32, 614 Safety Chief, and the Deputy Chief. All companies went to a defensive attack. A detached exposure building on the Charlie side ignited from the extreme radiant heat and was quickly extinguished.
As the fire broke through the main roof of the church, additional alarms were simultaneously requested bringing Engines 3, 6, 27, Truck 6, Unit 40 and 42 (assistant chiefs), Official 4 (fire chief), and Official 1 (public safety director). Official 4 requested Command 200, the Mobile Command Post unit to respond to the scene.
The fire was brought under control in 2.5 hours with no reported injuries. It was 16 degrees.

There are no specific qualifications for this office.
All three public service commissioners are appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and consent of the senate, to staggered, six-year terms. No more than two members can be members of the same political party. The commissioners elect, among themselves, a chairman and deputy chairman every two years.[3]

The governor appoints a successor, with the advice and consent of the state senate. In the event that the legislature is not in session when the position becomes vacant, the governor may fill the seat by temporary appointment to be effective until March 1 of the ensuing calendar year.[4]
The primary duty of the public service commission is to regulate the rates and service provision of electricity, natural gas, and telephone utilities. The commission is responsible for ensuring safe, adequate and reliable service at fair rates. Additional duties include:

Hi Sally, Thanks for your notes. David has gone back to London. Guilin trip was indeed memorable except for the cold in places like Sanjiang and Yeungshu, but it was indeed great to see China this way. The photos all came out very well and in fact some came out so well that it is good enough for photo competition....something for me to think about. Thanks again for arranging the tour and Mr. Guo is an excellent driver and very helpful too. Next time we travel to China hopefully, not in the winter, we will contact you again.

Every "Tebow" Uttered On ESPN's "TebowCenter" Today
In what was either a rare act of self-awareness or a complete lack thereof on behalf of the Worldwide Leader, ESPN dedicated an entire hour of SportsCenter today to Tim Tebow, managing to mention the Denver quarterback's name no fewer than 88 times in the process—all of which were painstakingly edited together for your pleasure above.
Fan's 'Tebow Time' Tattoo Has Tim Tebow as Bronco-Centaur (Picture)
An artist named Gabe, who did the tattoo, said the man in question showed up with the drawing and said he wanted to get the tattoo done. Normally the shop does all the designs themselves, but this guy really wanted his personally-designed Tebow Time tattoo, so they allowed it. Gabe says they asked the man if he had lost a bet, but he wouldn't tell them. Apparently he left the shop pleased and loved the tattoo.
Hey, whatever floats your boat. I just have two questions: Why does Tebow have no face or head within his helmet, and What's with the flowery handwriting?
Joe Theismann on Tim Tebow's Success: Enjoy the Circus While it's in Town
"I think what we all ought to do is enjoy the circus while it's in town…What makes 2011 so unique is we have seen quarterback play in this league at such a high extreme and in Tim's case, the bottom rung when it comes to completions…That defense is as good as any in football right now. The offense doesn't turn the ball over. There's been one interception in seven games. I say this tongue-in-cheek: The way Tim throws the ball sometimes, nobody has a shot at getting it, his guy, the defenders. It's either bounce it in the ground or throw it in the third row."
Does Theismann know he already missed the weekly meeting of the Hoge/Dilfer/Esiason/Young-chaired Tim Tebow Sucks Club? Maybe he's just trying to start the backlash to the "I give up, he just wins" backlash?
Or, maybe Von Miller reminds Joe too much of Lawrence Taylor, and his blood pressure is rising...
CBS and Robert Kraft won the battle to keep the Week 15 matchup between the Broncos and Pats at SAFaMH from being flexed to SNF. Instead, the country will be stuck watching Chargers/Ravens. Meanwhile, the team is without Ryan Clady, Willis McGahee and Eddie Royal today, while Von Miller has returned to practice.
It won't happen again.
Not the part about Denver coming from behind to win another game - not only will it, but that's becoming essentially de rigeur. Not the huge catches for Demaryius Thomas - I'd suspect that those will become pretty common too. No, it was the quote that Thomas left behind himself in the wake of his four-catch, 144-yard, two-TD performance.
They were playing cover 2. One safety would cover Deck on top because he's been our big receiver. They kind of forgot about me.
That's a mistake that isn't likely to come around again any time soon.
Continue reading "Wednesday Musings - Won't forget Demaryius again; progress on the offensive line"
Fox has Broncos in the hunt
Fox got permission to take his team in to most road games two days early, where players bond and howl and dream together, with no distractions. "Cost us a fortune, but John thought it was important," says one Broncos insider. "You get to know a teammate better, you play harder for him."
Fox picks one player to address the team before each game, a way of getting player buy-in. This is where Tebow made his famous "As iron sharpens iron, men sharpen men" pregame speech. (After which, Denver went out and fell behind 10-0).
Fox is real, blue collar and funny.
"The other day, before the Minnesota game, we were in the tunnel, about to come out," says Broncos punter Britton Colquitt. "And somebody farted. It was bad. And Coach Fox goes, 'Man, I guess somebody's nervous!' It just broke us all up, got us loose. That's what he's like. … I just met him this year and I feel like I've known him 20 years."
Rick Reilly's stuff sucks with the combined power of 10 million Dysons, so don't bother to read the article, and just go with the blurb I've put above.
The interesting takeaway is that Fox convinced the Broncos to spend significant money for team bonding purposes, which goes to refute fears that Pat Bowlen is getting cheap in his old age. That, and the fact that the Broncos think farting is funny.
Set your clocks: It's Tebow Time at 2:00 p.m. (ET) on SportsCenter
FR: When was the last time SportsCenter devoted an entire hour to one person?
MS: Whenever we have major breaking news or events a good portion of SportsCenter will be devoted to that particular topic. This past July, the day after the baseball All-Star game (traditionally a slow sports news day), we devoted a good portion of a block of SportsCenter to examining the growing role of Twitter in sports and journalism. Today will be unique in devoting a large portion of SC to Tim Tebow without it being based on breaking news.
Michael Shiffman's (ESPN producer) answer to this question tells you everything you need to know about what the Denver Broncos are about to become.
Newton, Tebow prove spread option will work in the NFL
But in reality, few run the spread with the quarterback being a major ball carrier like they do in Denver, Carolina and to some extent Philadelphia. That added dimension is something I could see becoming a new trend in the league…I hate hearing the rhetoric that defenses will catch up to Newton or Tebow. They won't, because their speed makes the plays effective…The Broncos tried running a conventional offense with Kyle Orton and it failed…The spread is here to stay. GMs and coaches must embrace it. In fact, both Denver and Carolina need to acquire backup quarterbacks who can play a similar style to Newton and Tebow so they don't have to change their offense should either QB miss a play or a game.
Of course, some guy named Ted Bartlett has been saying this for years...
Archie Manning doubts Luck, Peyton want to be teammates
Archie Manning was asked on FOXSports radio Tuesday if Indianapolis should draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck with the top pick next spring.
"I don't think it'd necessarily be great for either one," he said regarding Peyton and Luck. "I think Andrew's the type of mature player ... he can walk right in (and play)."..."Peyton's always tried to help Andrew and kind of be a friend. (But) I doubt if either one of them want to play on the same team."
Okay, so let's see if I've got this right:
You get the hint, Bill Polian? Or does Archie Manning have to "smooth" things over for you a little more?
UPDATE: Archie went on the Dan Patrick show a few hours ago and tried to backpedal, saying he wasn't a GM, but a "daddy." That's the point, Lawnmower Man.
How Jon Gruden became America's football coach.
But Gruden abhors the "stats sluts" who try to replace the judgments of a trained eye with mathematical formulas. He says, "You know what I hate, man? Guys that you know haven't seen the film: they just quote a bunch of statistical bullshit." Of course, there's something absurd about a man who loves data railing against "statistical bullshit." As Gruden demonstrates every Monday night, it's not possible to assess football without statistics. If anything, his voluminous appetite for game film suggests that football needs more and better statistics: a way to measure all the things that Gruden notices when he is watching and rewatching plays.
I used to be a "stats slut" myself, but I'm fighting my addiction.
My problem now? I watch so much game film, I've got hair on my palms.

Every one know that the speed of light "c" is unattainable but IS half the speed of life is attainable? i.e 1/2(c) If we get two bodies of 1/2(c) speed then by moving these bodies in opposite direction the spees of light is attainable? Is it possible?
A speed of 0.5c is attainable, but velocities don't add up like that in special relativity. Instead of w=u+v, the rule is [tex]w=\frac{u+v}{1+\frac{uv}{c^2}}[/tex] With u=-0.5c and v=0.5c, you get w=c/(1+0.25)=0.8c.
I dont know about the details of relativity but know about it,s results. Is from this equation the velocity of light is attainable or not by the motion of two bodies having speed less than C
Since this is the Relativity section, think of the situation in terms of Special Relativity. The 2nd postulate says that all observers measure the speed of light to be the same c. So it doesn't matter to me how 'fast' any other object is traveling, I always measure c as c. I could accelerate for a long time, making me go a lot faster than other objects, doesn't change anything - we will each continue to measure c. A consequence of this idea is that, as stated above, the (relative) speeds of individual moving objects does not add algebraically. Ron
yes. Fredriks answer is precisely correct as observed from either u or v, but if these are the speeds of spaceships relative to earth, an observer will see the ships moving apart at speed c....but if each ship emitted light, the light from each would be observed at speed c among all observers....

- Lightly beat egg white in a small mixing bowl. Add cracker crumbs, butter and oil; blend with a fork to thoroughly combine. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared tart pan, extending the crust 1 inch up the pan sides. Bake until the crust is dry and crisp to the touch, about 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
- To make filling: Pour orange juice into a large heatproof bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over the surface and allow to soften for 2 minutes. Set the bowl in a skillet of simmering water and stir the orange juice to completely dissolve the gelatin. (Or use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 25 seconds.) Beat cream and sugar to soft peaks in another bowl.
- Fold the drained yogurt into the gelatin mixture with a rubber spatula. Gently fold in the whipped cream. Pour the filling into the cooled tart shell and chill in refrigerator until partially set, 20 to 30 minutes.
- To assemble tart: If you plan to glaze the fruit, melt apricot preserves (or red currant jelly) in a small saucepan over low heat; if using preserves, strain through a fine sieve set over a small bowl. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Trim or slice fruits as necessary and arrange on the chilled filling. Brush the fruits with the apricot (or currant) glaze, if using. Return the tart to the refrigerator to chill until the filling has set completely, about 4 hours.

From installation and maintenance to their high power usage, computer servers come with major costs – so how do you protect your investment from dangers such as earthquakes? Tests performed at the University of Buffalo show that even though the risks to servers is significant in the event of seismic activity, the loss of functionality can be limited if servers are protected correctly. While many new structures in areas where seismic activity is common are designed with overall protection, the tests were designed to find a solution to help existing buildings protect sensitive equipment.
By subjecting 40 computer servers to a variety of three-dimensional ground motions, the tests confirmed that both globally and locally installed isolation systems and damping systems can be effective at mitigating earthquake damage. Isolation systems set sensitive equipment on top of a vibration-absorbing base, while damping uses internal devices that absorb energy to protect crucial system components in the event of an earthquake.
"The loss of functionality of essential equipment and components can have a disastrous impact. We can limit these sorts of equipment losses by improving their seismic performance," says Claudia Marin-Artieda, head researcher on the project. You can see a video of the tests being performed here.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I would just like to say I really enjoy the font on the 2010 Italian team's World Cup jersey's used for the player names. Nice work Puma.
The typeface for the Italian teams was drawn by Paul Barnes for Commercial Type. More info here.
I was wondering the same. Thanks for the link Tiffany.
Thanks Tiffany, nice sleuthing; it was driving me nuts that I couldn't find any more info on the web about it. Do you know if Commercial Type did all the Puma jersey's? Camaroon's away jersey is pretty great as well.
Posts like these remind me that there actually is a reason to use twitter.
